Providence College had a similar tribute earlier in the week, playing with green jerseys that had "Sandy Hook" written on the back of players' jerseys to replace their last names.

Xavier head coach Chris Mack tweeted that the game uniforms would be up for auction on the team's website with the proceeds from the sale being donated to the Sandy Hook Support fund.
